Yes, the Potenza's that come on this car are not intended for snow or ice conditions AT ALL! I just picked my car up last week and I still cant find anybody who has 18" snow tires in stock and it just snowed like 4", not looking foward to my drive into work tomorrow :(

I got by all winter on the stockers last year. We might have had 8 inches of snow total for the year. While I wouldn't put those drives to and from work on my top 10 list for enjoyable events, it certainly wasn't terrible. I did far better than the chap who parks next to me trying to get his G35 out of the parking lot.

If you have one locally, Town Fair Tire has 18" snow tires. They were around $200 each though.
